hello my scrappy friends! It's Danie here coming to you with another Scrap Your Stash process video

and today I am working on a pregnancy layout

Today I am doing a layout of me when I found out I was pregnant.

This was like the third test, I believe.

I took one like right at my... possible...positive

If you don't know all the lingo, I was trying to conceive.

I was part of that community.

and I literally took the test as early as I could.

and it was a little faint

and then the next day, it was a little darker

and so, I that Monday

my boss was like

Boss: "I want you to make sure."

Because at the time, I work... my job was hazardous

so he wanted me to make sure

so I ran to the store and got a digital pregnancy test

Plus, it was a positive because I would

know how far along I was

So, I made sure once I got home,

before the battery died, that I took a pic of it

because it let me know how far along I was

So, I basically knew I was pregnant... right at the beginning

So, one of those.

You know most females, they don't know

until later on into the pregnancy

but I knew at like 4 weeks...(like 3 1/2 weeks)

that I was pregnant...so

And that happened with my first child as well.

So, anyway, let's jump into what's going on with this layout

And we'll jump back onto the whole pregnancy stuff later on

So, anyway, I am using a lot of things that are on my desk

Like that's any news to you guys.

But, I am using some Claudia vanR

who's a fellow YouTuber

I will link below her Etsy store,

as well as the products that I used on this layout today

and this is not sponsored or anything

just a shoutout

and I also used like a whole bunch of old collections

Like I probably...probably can't even recall all of the collections

I know there's some Bloom in there

There's some Documentary I believe in there

What else?

But it's all American Craft

If you haven't realized

I am a..an American Crafts...buyer,

purchaser,

everything you want to think of

So that entails

Heidi Swapp

Maggie Holmes

Crate Paper

What else do I?

Shimelle

Just a lot of things that...or companies

that fall underneath American Craft

Those are the things that I use

So if you are ever wondering where my products come from

American Crafts is where get most of my products from

So, anyway, back to what I was doing

I had some pre-made layers

that I had did...months ago.

I had got a whole bunch of my stash

and I wasn't in the mood to scrap

but, I just went ahead made some

basically, some pre-made layers

Just corresponding colors

just to get rid of those pieces that were just

just I was getting annoyed with

So I pulled out one of those

and I pulled out some Pink..Pink Paislee C'est La Vie

and I also pulled out some Hello Love (as you can see)

I pulled out some Hello Love

Crate Paper Hello Love

I used some also I used some Crate Paper Oasis

AND

That is pretty much it

OH! The Crate Paper Happy Heart

I believe it's called

Or Heart Day

One of the those

I know it's Heart something

I wanna say it Heart Day

And I used

Those are really the embellishments I use on this layout

So, I put that typewriter

which, I don't know, if you guys have

caught any of my other videos

or heard me talking about it on Instagram

but, I have the worst time

using like the radios and the typewriters

that come with the chipboard

but I was able to use that cause it was really lovey dovey

and so I was able to use that just as a filler

Also, I was able to use some ephemera that I had sitting on my desk

Some from the Gather collection

The Bloom collection

What else?

I'd say that's it

But...Yea! OH! And Cute Girl

Yea..Cute Girl.

So all this stuff was just lying around on...on my desk

And I was just like my goal is to get rid of all this stuff

You guys,

just get rid of it

Well not get rid of it

Use it, right! (laughter)

I printed it out

If you don't know,

I print out my ephemera

but sometimes I print out a little bit extra

just to have just in case I change my mind

So, I am finished with my layering

so I think...

and I decide that I was gonna go ahead and add some color

A pop of color

on the right side of the layout

because it was just looking a little bland

So I pulled out some pink watercolors

the hot pink

and decided to go on and just splatter all around

no uniformity whatsoever

not the packaging technique

NOTHING

Just splatter, splatter, splatter.

And I'm gonna do the same

of course, with my black ink

And I didn't care that I got it all over the place

because I didn't really want a neat look

And also I have no control over my splatters...so, it is what it is

So, I decided that I was done (at that time)

But I looked at my layout and decided

"you know what? I'm just gonna to layer, and layer,

and layer embellishments behind my photo ."

And this is...like looking at this video now

I'm kinda kicking myself

because I covered up majority of the bottom half of that butterfly

and that...the whole point of cutting the butterfly in half

was so that you could see the bottom half

But it's okay! I was able to use the butterfly

At the end of the day, it was used

So, it's not a big deal.

So, I'm pulling from...my ephemera

I'm pulling all my ephemera from the Chasing Dreams Collection

And the Heart Day Collection

and there's no method to my madness

I was just pulling things left and right.

Just filling it in

Like this is one of the few layouts

that it actually worked out perfect

And I'm not upset with it!

So I am very happy with how everything turned out

I'm gonna go ahead and snip off that piece

A portion of that tag that was hanging over on the edge

I went ahead and cut that

And I'm gonna glue that heart down

AND THAT'S GONNA BE IT!
